Thank you An Ard Ri for sharing the very interesting video of the Queen's funeral.
I saw her in the Salon des Penseurs at the Royal Palace , on the little table next to her I saw her violin.
The Queen has asked the the surviving Nurses of the Ocean Hospital at la Panne , spend the night next to her dead body. So did my grandmother .
At the end of my grandmother's funerals I heard the Brabançonne , our National Hymn !

Another queen with artistic and bohemian inclinations, Queen Elisabeth of the Belgians. rose to the challenge of war and became a national heroine. Based with her husband on the last strip of Belgian soil, she devoted herself to nursing the wounded and becoming a saintly figure to Belgian soldiers.

During the German occupation of Belgium from 1940 to 1944, Queen Elisabeth used her influence as queen and German connections to assist in the rescue of Jewish children from deportation by the Nazis.
After the war she was awarded the title Righteous Among the Nations by the Israeli government.

She's one amongst several royal ladies to get that award. Both Helen, Queen mother of Romania and Princess Alice of Greece (mother of the Duke of Edinburgh) RATN for saving Jews during the Holocaust. Queen Giovanna of Bulgaria also did a lot to save Jews but I don't think she became a RATN.
